I hear the Menendez parents didn't let them celebrate Halloween, and we all know how that turned out.

Well, I'm not going to judge a religious belief because they don't want to observe, celebrate or identify with a Holiday. I mean there are people, whether Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, etc. who don't care for anything to do with Christmas or Easter. Are they idiots for not doing so?
Anyhow, the reason some Christians or possibly others don't want to celebrate Halloween or have their kids involved with it is because they possibly believe that monsters, witches and whatnot are Satanic. There's also those who say that because it was originally a Pagan holiday (and still is to those who practice those religions, like Wiccans) and is in all ways the polar opposite of Christianity. And then there are simply people who find it dangerous to take candies from strangers and than simply people who don't want to give treats out to kids who knock on their doors.
Anyways, I don't agree with people who think it's evil or whatnot. Personally, I love Halloween. It sucks for children who want to join their friends and dress up and trick or treat whose parents are against it, but what can one really do? That's just part of being a different religion. When those kids turn 18, they'll be able to decide to for themselves and while probably too old to go door-to-door for candies, they'll no doubt celebrate by dressing up, attending parties with their friends and hey... even boozing up. Heh.

Funny thing is I won't have to dress up tomorrow. I'll be going out to an all goth party tomorrow so I can essentially just whip on what I usually wear on the weekends, plus it finally got cold a couple days ago which means I can sport my vest and frills and once again this Fall resemble something out of a Ayami Kojima drawing.
That means lots of cute darkly draped (some corset) wearing women, alcohol and plenty of Sisters Of Mercy, Switchblade Symphony, etc. to go around tomorrow night. Yippeee!!!
A good lot of it, yeah. I don't think everything you mentioned fits there, though.Quote:

Lamest topic of the week.
I always thought it was funny when people carve stuff like "jesus saves" and the jesus fish on their pumpkins. and crosses. And most of the time the houses give out propaganda inside a bag of candy. It's pretty sad, actually.
When you are a middle school aged kid, nothing is better than Halloween. I could write a book about the hillarious vandilism I caused annually on that one beautiful evening. I feel bad for those kids who missed out on account of their uptight parents.
Only after he cast down Satan and smote his ruin upon the mountian side.Quote:
